About Me

Colorful power trio Superchrist from Helsinki, Finland are guitarist-vocalist Mikko, drummer Lassi and bassist Minttu. And they've got something for you. Their sound has been described as a twisted cross between NIN, White Stripes, QOTSA, and even Prince! And truly they just are not the ones from around the corner, as you will find out!
Formed in 2000, Superchist slowly became a well-known name in the Finnish indie scene. After several acclaimed EP's and over 100 gigs Superchrist's long-awaited debut album, self-produced 'Colorgun', was released in Finland in November 2005. Colorgun was picked as "The Album Of The Week" in YleX (Finland's "Radio One"). The first video "Tear Me Down Tonight" also got lot of airplay on MTV. The album was featured widely and reviwed with huge praises in all Finnish music papers and magazines. Finland's most acclaimed music journalist, Mr. Ilkka Mattila, gave the album a total of 5 stars of the maximum 5 rating in the main national newspaper Helsingin Sanomat. Later the paper picked Superchrist's album as one of the year's best albums only among few other Finnish bands.
In May 2006, after a long spring tour across Finland, Superchrist release their second single taken from the album, "My Everything". The song is power and it's pop. And the colorful montage-type music video combines busy cities and beautiful landscapes with ballerina dancers and space-snowboarding! A bonus feature on the new single captures Superchrist's famous, sometimes maybe even "hendrixesque", raw live energy with a stunning 20 minute video "BEHOLD! Superchrist Live Explosion!" shot at their recent sold out club gig in Helsinki.
Right now the word about Superchrist is spreading around and running probably faster than their van. So go and catch them if you can!
After active touring in spring and fall 2006, the band went to studio to give birth to the follow-up for ´Colorgun´ called ´Surfing The Zeitchrist´. Album was released 28 March 2007.
